Icahn blusters a lot, but his shares are something less than 1% of the total outstanding shares of common shares regardless of the dollar value.

Ha! Icahn is a hold up artist. He could give a shit about actual management decisions. Guys like Einhorn, Tepper, Loeb and Gundlach are more management involvement activists.
